Day 7 of 100 day Joyful Creativity

Week one is done!

The biggest accomplishment would have to be getting the website up and running on day one.

What did I learn this week?

I think I’d like to start a project. It was good to muckaround with the wire and origami and mandalas are a fave for me but the randomness wasn’t as rewarding as I’d like.

I’ve been researching junk journals for the last few months and I have pretty much everything I’d ever need to make one (or a thousand!)

I love the idea of using old books, magazines, scrapbooking materials, stickers, stamps, fabric and junk mail to create a a funky journal.

There are some crazy, beautiful, detailed, ephemera filled journals out there in the world. That may be why I haven’t tried to make one yet. It’s a little intimidating!

This is a good time to move past the fear. I have some ideas to make them unique but the first one will be basic so I can get it finished fairly quickly. Hopefully another outcome of the 100 day challenge!

So next week will be about picking a cover, paper and figuring out how many signatures it will take to fill it. I’m feeling pretty excited about it! It’s been on my to do list for a long time 🙂
